Sorry - not in many years (decades? ) I remember them as regular, middle-of-the-road California wines with the usual funky reds common in that area at the time.

What wine did you have?

Doesn't Lohr has some form of relationship w/ Stag's Leap?

The wine we really like is the Seven Oaks Cabernet...

BTW, here is their web site:

I like the seven oaks as well but $24.00 in Vancouver, not exactly a steal.

when i first started getting into wine ... uh, never mind how long ago ... their riesling was one of my tasting group's default party whites. and once when i was a judge at the la county fair wine competition ... (see above) ... their gamay was voted best wine ... i think it's now called valdigue. i haven't tasted any of their more "serious" reds in quite a while, but these others offer really remarkable value.

You might try the Lohr Chard also. It is quite drinkable and we pay under $10.00 in Md for it. Certainly good for an every day white.

21 years ago, I was the sommelier at Hugo's at the Grand Hyatt on Capitol Hill in DC. The Hyatt Hotel Corporation had a contract with J.Lohr to produce all their house wines, worldwide. I could open 3 bottles of "house wine" in a row and taste a different varietal each time. Riesling, Columbard and Chenin Blanc seemed to be the predominant grapes. They sold for $12 a bottle, which was roughly 5 times cost. Needless to say, I didn't sell a whole lot of Montrachet when I worked there.
